The Himalayan 440 wasn’t the only new motorcycle we saw during Royal Enfield’s Himalayan Basecamp (HBC) event in the first week of September. The brand also showcased a non-camouflaged version of the Himalayan 750, revealing many key details about it, like the fact that it will be the first Royal Enfield to feature cruise control. At the time, we also reported that we expect it to launch at EICMA 2026. Now, the Himalayan 750 has been spotted in more colours, tacitly indicating an EICMA launch is imminent.
- Himalayan 750 spotted in red, white and grey colours for the first time
- Royal Enfield could offer tubeless spoke rims as accessories
- Still has 19/17-inch (F/R) wheels; 21/17-inch or 21/18-inch version a possibility for later
Royal Enfield Himalayan 750: What’s new?
New colours and possibly optional tubeless spoke rims
We first saw a prototype-looking version of the Himalayan 750 at EICMA 2025. Since then, the bike has been spotted testing multiple times, with the last instance at HBC giving us the closest look yet. However, all those times, it was either camouflaged or painted black. Thankfully, it looks like Royal Enfield intends to continue with its interesting colour schemes for the Himalayan 750. Presumably spotted during a shoot (judging by the attire and the gear used by the riders), we see three new colours: red, white and grey (or silver). Just outside the frame is another motorcycle, which could be the black colour that we’ve already seen. These could end up being the four colour options for the Himalayan 750.
Another key change we noticed – and it’s something fans of Royal Enfield’s heritage would love – is that two of the three motorcycles in the pictures have tubeless spoke wheels. Until now, we’ve only seen the Himalayan 750 with alloy rims. However, it’s likely that Royal Enfield will reserve the tubeless spoke rims as additional accessories or offer them as standard on only the top variant. The Himalayan 450, for example, gets tubeless rims only with the top Mana Black variant; on all the other colours, they are available as accessories for an additional Rs 15,990. The wheel sizes still appear to be 19/17-inch front/rear, which could mean Royal Enfield intends to position the Himalayan 750 as more of a tourer, or it might have an off-road-focused version of the 750 with a 21/17 (or 18)-inch front/rear wheel setup in the works for later. For context, the Himalayan 440 and 450 run on 21/17-inch front/rear wheels.
You can check the full list of features the biggest Himalayan is poised to get and further information in our earlier report. Currently, the Super Meteor 650 is the most expensive Royal Enfield at Rs 4.40 lakh, and we expect the Himalayan 750 to become the new flagship upon its launch, which is likely to take place at EICMA 2026 in November.
